MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION

is an equal opportunity employer


THE DEPARTMENT



The Conservation Commission is responsible for the control, management, restoration, and conservation of the fish, wildlife, and forest resources of Missouri.



The Commission was created by an amendment to the Missouri State Constitution. The four Commissioners are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate for a term of six years. No more than two may be from the same political party. The Department is completely free of partisan politics and is considered a model conservation agency. Financing is primarily from the sale of hunting and fishing permits and a 1/8th of 1% sales tax voted by the citizens of Missouri to implement an expanded conservation program. Federal aid funds are also received from several sources.



The Department has divisions responsible for Administrative Services, Design and Development, Fisheries, Forestry, Human Resources, Outreach and Education, Private Land Services, Protection, Resource Science and Wildlife.

Your political view is not a consideration in obtaining and holding your job with the Department. How you vote and whether you contribute to any political party is your own business. No employee of the Department may take any active part in politics or political campaigns, but all employees are urged to vote their convictions.
